Being from a small town in Florida that has it's share of Mexican immigrants it is fair to say that I LOVE Mexican food and have a bit of knowledge on authenticity.. That being said, moving to a big city where Hawaiian food seems to have a big influence there is few good Mexican joints. The only good thing about that is I get to play with cooking Mexican food at home! It used to be when we would make enchiladas my hubby and I would do it simple as possible with a can of enchilada sauce, rotisserie chicken, and lots of cheese... but now that good, authentic Mexican food is scarce it becomes obvious we must be authentic Mexican chefs at home, or at least try! Finding this recipe from Tyler Florence for
Chicken Enchiladas with Roasted Tomatillo Chile Salsa with homemade tomatillo sauce has been a dream come true to satisfy my Mexican itch!
